Ingredients
-
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
-
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
-
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
-
- 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
-
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
-
- Toppings: sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, chia seeds, or granola
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt (if using). Stir well to ensure the oats are fully soaked.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Mix in the mashed banana, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Refrigerate
Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours). This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
Step 4: Add Toppings
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, chia seeds, or granola for extra crunch and flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Grab a spoon and dig in! These oats can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or warmed up if you prefer a cozy breakfast.
